Hi Guys,
I have search in all the post but i don't be able to found nothing about a BATH to process all the NX draft in one folder in to DXF files.
I have tested a Beautiful batch file PDF, but for DXF i have found nothing...
I Attached the CODE...
There are some developpers it can be able to modify this for export the DXF file?

'class to export drawing sheets to pdf file
'
'Please send any bug reports and/or feature requests to: info@nxjournaling.com
'
'version 0.4 {beta}, initial public release
' special thanks to Mike H. and Ryan G.
'
'November 3, 2014
'update to version 0.6
' added a public Sort(yourSortFunction) method to sort the drawing sheet collection according to a custom supplied function.
'
'November 7, 2014
'Added public property: ExportSheetsIndividually and related code changes default value: False
'Changing this property to True will cause each sheet to be exported to an individual pdf file in the specified export folder.
'
'Added new public method: New(byval thePart as Part)
' allows you to specify the part to use at the time of the NXJ_PdfExporter object creation
'
'
'December 1, 2014
'update to version 1.0
'Added public property: SkipBlankSheets [Boolean] {read/write} default value: True
' If the drawing sheet contains no visible objects, it is not output to the pdf file.
' Checking the sheet for visible objects requires the sheet to be opened;
' display updating is suppressed while the check takes place.
'Bugfix:
' If the PickExportFolder method was used and the user pressed cancel, a later call to Commit would still execute and send the output to a temp folder.
' Now, if cancel is pressed on the folder browser dialog a boolean flag is set (_cancelOutput), which the other methods will check before executing.
'
'
'December 4, 2014
'update to version 1.0.1
'Made changes to .OutputPdfFileName property Set method: you can pass in the full path to the file (e.g. C:\temp\pdf-output\12345.pdf);
'or you can simply pass in the base file name for the pdf file (e.g. 12345 or 12345.pdf). The full path will be built based on the
'.OutputFolder property (default value - same folder as the part file, if an invalid folder path is specified it will default to the user's
'"Documents" folder).
'
'
'Public Properties:
' ExportSheetsIndividually [Boolean] {read/write} - flag indicating that the drawing sheets should be output to individual pdf files.
' cannot be used if ExportToTc = True
' default value: False
' ExportToTc [Boolean] {read/write} - flag indicating that the pdf should be output to the TC dataset, False value = output to filesystem
' default value: False
' IsTcRunning [Boolean] {read only} - True if NX is running under TC, false if native NX
' OpenPdf [Boolean] {read/write} - flag to indicate whether the journal should attempt to open the pdf after creation
' default value: False
' OutputFolder [String] {read/write} - path to the output folder
' default value (native): folder of current part
' default value (TC): user's Documents folder
' OutputPdfFileName [String] {read/write} - full file name of outut pdf file (if exporting to filesystem)
' default value (native): <folder of current part>\<part name>_<part revision>{_preliminary}.pdf
' default value (TC): <current user's Documents folder>\<DB_PART_NO>_<DB_PART_REV>{_preliminary}.pdf
' OverwritePdf [Boolean] {read/write} - flag indicating that the pdf file should be overwritten if it already exists
' currently only applies when exporting to the filesystem
' default value: True
' Part [NXOpen.Part] {read/write} - part that contains the drawing sheets of interest
' default value: none, must be set by user
' PartFilePath [String] {read only} - for native NX part files, the path to the part file
' PartNumber [String] {read only} - for native NX part files: part file name
' for TC files: value of DB_PART_NO attribute
' PartRevision [String] {read only} - for native NX part files: value of part "Revision" attribute, if present
' for TC files: value of DB_PART_REV
' PreliminaryPrint [Boolean] {read/write} - flag indicating that the pdf should be marked as an "preliminary"
' when set to True, the output file will be named <filename>_preliminary.pdf
' default value: False
' SheetCount [Integer] {read only} - integer indicating the total number of drawing sheets found in the file
' ShowConfirmationDialog [Boolean] {read/write} - flag indicating whether to show the user a confirmation dialog after pdf is created
' if set to True and ExportToTc = False, user will be asked if they want to open the pdf file
' if user chooses "Yes", the code will attempt to open the pdf with the default viewer
' default value: False
' SkipBlankSheets [Boolean] {read/write} - flag indicating if the user wants to skip drawing sheets with no visible objects.
' default value: True
' SortSheetsByName [Boolean] {read/write} - flag indicating that the sheets should be sorted by name before output to pdf
' default value: True
' TextAsPolylines [Boolean] {read/write} - flag indicating that text objects should be output as polylines instead of text objects
' default value: False set this to True if you are using an NX font and the output changes the 'look' of the text
' UseWatermark [Boolean] {read/write} - flag indicating that watermark text should be applied to the face of the drawing
' default value: False
' WatermarkAddDatestamp [Boolean] {read/write} - flag indicating that today's date should be added to the end of the
' watermark text
' default value: True
' WatermarkText [String] {read/write} - watermark text to use
' default value: "PRELIMINARY PRINT NOT TO BE USED FOR PRODUCTION"
'
'Public Methods:
' New() - initializes a new instance of the class
' New(byval thePart as Part) - initializes a new instance of the class and specifies the NXOpen.Part to use
' PickExportFolder() - displays a FolderPicker dialog box, the user's choice will be set as the output folder
' PromptPreliminaryPrint() - displays a yes/no dialog box asking the user if the print should be marked as preliminary
' if user chooses "Yes", PreliminaryPrint and UseWatermark are set to True
' PromptWatermarkText() - displays an input box prompting the user to enter text to use for the watermark
' if cancel is pressed, the default value is used
' if Me.UseWatermark = True, an input box will appear prompting the user for the desired watermark text. Initial text = Me.WatermarkText
' if Me.UseWatermark = False, calling this method will have no effect
' Commit() - using the specified options, export the given part's sheets to pdf
' SortDrawingSheets() - sorts the drawing sheets in alphabetic order
' SortDrawingSheets(ByVal customSortFunction As System.Comparison(Of NXOpen.Drawings.DrawingSheet)) - sorts the drawing sheets by the custom supplied function
' signature of the sort function must be: {function name}(byval x as Drawings.Drawingsheet, byval y as Drawings.DrawingSheet) as Integer
' a return value < 0 means x comes before y
' a return value > 0 means x comes after y
' a return value = 0 means they are equal (it doesn't matter which is first in the resulting list)
' after writing your custom sort function in the module, pass it in like this: myPdfExporter.Sort(AddressOf {function name})
